CANCELLED - Carpet Diem

Comedy • Stand-up
New South Wales • SA Premiere

John Peacock's excellent show Carpet Diem is coming to the Adelaide. Following it's sell-out debut at Brisbane's Good Chat Comedy Festival, it's time to hit the road. Telling the story of a mid-life career change where the 2012 Australian Carpet Cleaner of The Year became a Stand Up Comedian. Life challenges, finding out who and what you love, following your dreams, working on your mental health. You won't believe what he found in a lady's laundry tub but might find out how to remove a coffee spill.

Being a carpet cleaner gives John a lot of time alone with his wand to contemplate the World. It's not perfect (The World that is) but he has a plan. 52 years of age, with middle-aged spread, social anxiety and possible gluten intolerance.  It's time for John Peacock to Carpet Diem.

Presented by: The Comedy Commune

In 2012, John Peacock was carpet cleaner of the year. Now he's a middle aged man with a bee in his bonnet and several mental health issues. A deep thinker with social anxiety and middle age spread. He might also be gluten intolerant.
In 2015 aged 44, John Peacock worked out what he wanted to do when he grew up. Unfortunately he is yet to grow up and remains largely unfulfilled. Cleaning carpets provides John with a lot of time alone with his wand to consider the World. It's not perfect (the World that is) but he has a plan. It's not much of a plan in fairness and essentially involves telling dick jokes to strangers in a hope that that will change the World without the associated effort which would invariably be involved in actually trying to change the World.
